> why don't you use int(1) and set it to 0 or 1?

Storage space is an issue because I am designing a very large database
for a client.  Every byte I save per row will translate into many many
megs.  So if all I need is a single bit for true or false I want to get
as close to that single bit as possible.  (Although most bools end up
being more then a single bit because of architecture issues).

So, to put a long story short, I am trying to make every column's
internal data structure as tiny as possible.
